As I was reading this book I thought it would be my favorite from Colleen Hoover. I could barely put the book down.  

Spoiler

I was disappointed with the ending. I thought that it undid a lot of the suspense that was built up throughout the book. I wish that the letter confirmed that Verity was a complete psychopath, and that her death was a benefit to the world. Or that jeremy somehow had written the manuscript and Lowen had found this letter warning her to stay away from jeremy somehow.

I liked the tension - it kept me reading it in almost one go - but I think the plot had potential but was not fully thought through. Some loose ends make the story weaker and less believable

Nunca antes había escuchado un audiolibro y tampoco había leído a Colleen Hoover y, honestamente, por las críticas que recibe me imaginaba que su estilo sería malísimo, cuando... no lo ha sido? nada que ver, de hecho. Osea, será una mala persona, pero escribe bien. O por lo menos esa es la impresión que me he llevado con este libro, que debe ser bastante distinto al resto de sus obras. En fin, seguiré leyéndola,estoy basstante contenta con este thriller, y soy muy especialita con este género.
